Prescriptive Spelling Program, Books A, B, C, D, and E

SRA / McGraw-Hill

Prescriptive Spelling is an excellent tool to use with students who have had difficulty in spelling. They are especially good for the child fourth grade or above who struggles with spelling problems because he or she never learned spelling rules.

These books review spelling rules and apply them to spelling lists. Students study words through sound/spelling patterns, through patterns of meaning, and through visual patterns for a sort of multi sensory approach . These books differ from other spelling series in their clear and frequent explanations that highlight applicable rules or patterns.

A separate diagnostic test (0075689758) is available to help with placement. Reading levels of the books are approximately the middle of grade levels 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, but these are excellent to use even with high schoolers.

Ordering numbers for the student books are 0075689650, 0075689669, 0075689677, 0075689685 and 0075689693 respectively. Numbers for accompanying teacher editions are 0075689707, 0075689715, and 0075689723, 0075689731, and 007568974X.
